Watch Anna Hazelnutt on Her First First Ascent, a Cool 5.12c
"The rock quality was great and the moves were super interesting"
Anna Hazelnutt has been climbing for the better part of a decade, and last fall made headlines when she repeated Once Upon a Time in the Southwest E9 6c (5.13a/bR) in the U.K.
Hazelnutt recently published a video of her first first ascent, a cool 5.12c called Eye of the Taiga. “Very cool little line that Nate bolted in the backyard crag- it was a wonder it hadn’t already been bolted seeing as the rock quality was great and the moves were super interesting and varied,” she said.
“Thanks Nate for letting me go for the send, I was super excited to get an FA, a new experience for me. I’m looking forward to learning about the bolting process and learning how to set up my own line somewhere pretty.” Be sure to follow Hazelnutt on Instagram below.
